Bjorvatn har over 700 publikasjoner, og mange av disse er registrert i PubMed. Han har forfattet fire bøker om søvn og søvnlidelser, og forfattet en rekke kapitler i norske og engelske lærebøker. Hans H-indeks (august 2023) er 71.
Han har veiledet 22 phd-kandidater (8 som hovedveileder), og veileder for tiden 9 nye kandidater(3 som hovedveileder).
De siste årene har jeg bidratt med mer enn 50 intervjuer årlig om søvn, døgnrytme og søvnlidelser i norske aviser/magasiner/radio/TV. Jeg mener det er svært viktig å øke folks kunnskap om søvn og konsekvensene av dårlig/lite søvn. Selvhjelpsboken min "Bedre søvn. En håndbok til deg som sover dårlig", utgitt på Fagbokforlaget, er vist i en randomisert kontrollert studie å hjelpe personer som sliter med insomni. Jeg har også forfattet lærebøker om Søvnsykdommer, Ungdomssøvn og Skiftarbeid.
Jeg har de siste årene gitt mer enn 150 foredrag om søvn, døgnrytme, skiftarbeid og behandling av søvnlidelser til leger og annet helsepersonell.
